“close the achievement gap between white and black students.’
More ‘diversity’ crap.
I don’t hear anyone bemoaning the “achievement gap” between white and Asian students.
Oh... right... that doesn’t “fit the template”.
It’s not an “achievement gap” it’s an “ambition gap.”
Black culture denigrates studying as not “keepin’ it real.” Frankly if doing this helps to rid this from black culture, than maybe it isn’t such a bad thing to do after all. While I don’t necessarily agree with segregating the students, something does need to be done about trying address this attitude problem amongst many of the black population.
Thomas Sowell has an excellent article today on just this sort of madness which has infected our society......

People who call differences “inequities” and achievements “privilege” leave social havoc in their wake, while feeling noble about siding with the less fortunate. It would never occur to them that they have any responsibility for the harm done to both blacks and Asian Americans.
